Advanced User Configuration
The Wireless Cable Gateway offers local management capability through a built in HTTP server
and a number of diagnostic and configuration web pages. These pages are available from
http://192.168.0.1 in RG and CH modes, and http://192.168.100.1 in CM Mode. Not all pages are
available in some modes.
Some information on two of the following web pages MUST BE configured, as explained in
Mandatory User Configuration.
In addition, more configuration and diagnostics are possible through the following additional
web pages, most of which are aimed at controlling the advanced networking functions of the
gateway.
To navigate between pages, use the hyperlinks on the top of the page, and the side bar on the
left side of the page. For easy navigation, the pages are organized in groups, with group names
at the top of the pages. Individual page names within each group are provided in the sidebar. To
navigate to a page, click the group hyperlink at the top, then the page hyperlink on the sidebar.
Your cable company may not support the reporting of some items of information listed on your
gateway’s internal web pages. In such cases, the information field appears blank. This is normal.
In the CM Mode, the simplest configuration mode of the gateway, or in the CH Mode, where you
have subscribed to an outside service (your cable company or another party) to remotely manage
your home network configuration, you will see only the Status and Wireless web page hyperlinks
in the sidebar, indicating only these page groups are available.
In the RG Mode, the mode where you manage your home network configuration, you will see
web page hyperlinks to all five page groups: Status, Basic, Advanced, Firewall, and Wireless. The
following section explains all of the available pages for all of the modes.
Note: Your gateway complies with DOCSIS standards regarding software upgrades. DOCSIS requires that any
software upgrade to a device that is connected to a cable system, like your gateway, must be "pushed" to the
gateway by the cable operator. Also, the features of the gateway, and the embedded web pages that control
those features, can vary by software version. Therefore, you may find that your gateway's web pages and
features vary slightly from those shown here. This is normal, and is the result of a software upgrade your cable
operator has made to your gateway.

Status Web Page Group
Software Web Page (Fig. 17)
The
Information
section of this page provides hardware and software information about your
gateway that may be useful to your cable company. You can view your operating software version
but not change it. This is because your gateway adheres to the DOCSIS Cable Modem standard,
which requires that your cable company perform any software upgrade of the gateway from the
gateway WAN side.
The
Status
section of this page shows how long your gateway has operated since last being
powered up, and some key information the Cable Modem section received during the initialization
process with your cable company. If
Network Access
shows “Allowed,” then your cable company
has configured your gateway to have Internet connectivity. If
Network Access
shows otherwise,
you may not have Internet access, and should contact your cable company to resolve this.

Connection Web Page (Fig. 18)
This page reports diagnostic information about the initialization and operating status of your
gateway that can be useful at the time of installation. It can also be useful to your cable
company’s support technician if you’re having problems.

Password Web Page (Fig. 19)
This page is used to set a password that enables you to access all the gateway internal web pages.
The password can be a maximum of 8 characters and is case sensitive. In addition, this page can
be used to restore the gateway to its original factory settings. Use this with caution, as all the
settings you have made will be lost. To perform this reset, set
Restore Factory Defaults
to
YES
and
click
Apply
. This has the same effect as a factory reset using the rear panel reset switch, where
you hold in the switch for 15 seconds, then release.

Event Log Web Page (Fig. 20)
This page provides diagnostic information regarding the cable modem section of your gateway
that may be useful to your cable company if you are having startup or operation issues. As long
as your gateway startup and operational performance is normal, any messages contained in this
log can be ignored.
Diagnostics Web Page (Fig. 21)
This page verifies you have IP connectivity from your gateway to other IP addresses on the LAN
side, such as when you want to confirm you have successfully configured one of your PCs for
TCP/IP operation.
When you
ping
an Internet device, you send a packet to its TCP/IP stack, and it sends one back to
yours. Enter the IP address you want to
ping,
then click Start Test. Wait a few seconds, then click
your web browser’s
refresh
button. Success reported in the
Results
box means IP connectivity is
working from your CM TCP/IP stack to the target’s stack.
Note: Firewalls may cause pings to fail but still provide you TCP/IP access to selected devices behind them. Keep
this in mind when pinging a device that may be behind a firewall. Ping is most useful to verify connectivity with
PCs you know have no firewall, such as your own PCs on your LAN side.
